Welcome to Croft House Care Home in Great Dunmow

When it came to designing Croft House, a great deal of thought and care went into its layout and the types of care it would offer its residents. The home is set in stunning, well-maintained gardens and is also situated within walking distance of the main high street of Great Dunmow – which is ideal for those residents to get out and about.

Croft House provides long-term care for the frail elderly, as well as residential, nursing, convalescence and palliative care. It also specialises in caring for people with Parkinson's. Short breaks and respite are also in the home's overall care plan, as is care for residents who have had strokes.

Languages spoken include Romanian, Malayalam and Damil, French and Spanish.

Life at Croft House Care Home

Our in-house activity co-ordinator plans a selection of activities every single day of the week to suit all tastes and levels of ability, and we welcome friends and relatives to come into the home and join in, too.

    Our activities

    We want our residents to make the most of their free time and help them pursue exactly what's needed to make them happy. To that end we not only run a full range of activities designed to stimulate the mind and body (which are also a great way to make new friends at the home), but we're also there to encourage any residents who wish to take up or continue a personal hobby.

    Entertainers often visit and perform recitals at our home and residents are encouraged to join in. There is also a mobile library which visits regularly. Residents can visit the river, the local park or the old village and there are also excursions to the seaside, countryside and nearby Eastbourne.

    When the weather is pleasant residents can sit outside in the spacious seating area and admire our large fish pond and feed the pet chickens.

    Our food

    We serve a delicious variety of nutritionally balanced meals three times a day. Each resident's diet is closely and continuously monitored to make sure that they're happy with the choice on the menu and that it also meets any dietary requirements they may have.

    We also have a weekly breakfast club and a monthly themed (around the world) supper club for residents to enjoy.
